Hope you find these helpful: Rhode Island – A State Unit Study http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2223.html by HOST egroup This mini unit on RHODE ISLAND uses the cross curricular approach to education. There are several activities from different academic subjects for you to choose from. One of the most important things is to have fun! Swiss Family Robinson Unit Study – Chapter Six http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2230.html Chapter Six entitled An Addition to Our Fleet, continues the unit study of the Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss Add Benefits to Summer Fun http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2225.html by Kathryn Stout A great deal of learning can take place during the summer without the sense of formality a child may associate with school. Here are a few ideas that are simple to implement but have lots of benefits. Adjusting Attitude http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2229.html by Kathryn Stout Even when teaching methods are effective in helping a student understand concepts, something more subtle can leave him with the feeling that he is incompetent or that learning is boring. If you want your students to have a life-long love of learning and the self-confidence necessary to eventually learn on their own, it is worth looking at that subtle influence-the teacher's attitude. Abraham Lincoln: A Presidential Unit http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2224.html Abraham Lincoln was the 16th US President, he served from 1861 to 1865, and although elected for a second term, was assassinated before the year was out. He was born 12 Feb 1809 near Hodgenville in Hardin County, KY in a one room log cabin.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo: What is it anyway?! http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2221.html What is Cinco de Mayo anyway?! Cinco de Mayo translates as the fifth of May. The holiday Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the Mexican people over the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo: Scoop Tacos http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2227.html Here’s a fun activity for the kids to make. This is yummy! What an addition to a Cinco de Mayo feast. Home Ec Project: Preserving Beans http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2226.html Preserving beans can be a great first food preservation activity. Many beans can be allowed to dry in their pods and then stored properly. Beans can also be frozen and canned. Always remember to follow safe food handling practices, both in the preservation process and in serving your harvest. Home Ec Project: Preserving Cantaloupe http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2222.html This is probably one of the more unusual fruits to preserve in some way, but it is possible. Yes, even to making cantaloupe preserves. These recipes would certainly make unusual gift items. Please remember to complete the canning safety lesson prior to beginning any of the food preservation projects.
